Eventbrite events_get encoding problem #12

Open davidszedely opened 12 years ago

davidszedely commented 12 years ago

Hi, I'm setting up the map for Slovakia, and wanted to pull events we're organizing into the map for testing. However, I have received this error - probably due to special characters in the location of the event. As eventbrite is pulling this based on the location entered, there is little I can do about it... Is there some quick fix? Thanks for help! David http://www.neulogy.com/map/events_get.php Sorry if there is something inappropriate about this post, this is my first issue ticket ever.

I had this problem with Los Angeles briefly. Its an eventbrite bug - sometimes their api outputs invalid xml. I just had to wait a few days and it worked again.

Seems the problem isn't only with events, but also with adding places: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1601526/Screenshots/v14tgn-li1-a.png Nevertheless, it adds the place into the database (and onto the map) with correct location unless no special characters are part of the address. If there are special characters, it adds to the DB, but places it in the middle of an ocean. Can I somehow specify the encoding? Any help is appreciated...
